Torchwood Children of Earth DVD-Series 3: Tone Of Darkness With A Twist Of Humor

If you thought Torchwood one and two were loads of good viewing then this new release will be pleasing to your eyes. To label Torchwood Series 3 DVD as better is possibly an understatement. It is considerably different in quite a few ways. These touches make it more viewable and more likable to many fans.

First there are only 5 episodes instead of 12 as in the other series.  This is due to the way the BBC ran it, on every night for a week instead of one day a week for a few months.  This mega series event format really worked for this particular show plus in other incarnations of Torchwood, there was a mix of politics, sci-fi, thriller and suspense.  It was good and suspenseful, but with a twist of humor that put it on the lighter less intense side.

Torchwood Children of Earth on DVD is much more psychologically twisted with dark and emotional moments that make it the perfect adult show.  Torchwood really takes on a life of its own in this nightmare on film, which is much more deep and sadistic than any Torchwood before this and it must be said that this is by far the best one yet.  It is intense to watch the Torchwood crew as they go through these 5 days of life.  Kind of along the lines of 24 as each episode is really supposed to represent one days time.

When considering the Torchwood series in its entirety number 3 comes out on top. Although it did get it's beginning on Dr. Who, it has grown into its own complete being. It probably has come too far to be even considered a spin off because it has come into its own. With its own fan base separate from the Dr. Who bunch.

By far the best sci-fi for 2009 this one tops the charts.  It is so much better than one and two, you will be pleasantly surprised and amazed at how this series has really taken on a tone of darkness that leaves you wondering what Series 4 will bring to the Torchwood Crew.
